David Beckham for travel documentary on BBC One!

The 38 year old will appear with three of his best buddies as he takes a once in a lifetime look at the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil. The programme will be aired alongside the 2014 World Cup this summer, which is also taking place in the Southern American country.

BBC Worldwide managing director Helen Jackson said: “This is an unforgettable documentary set in the heart of the dense Amazon rainforest following David Beckham. Through his eyes, audiences will experience life in the jungle, something so distant from David’s life on and off the pitch and in the glare of the world’s media.”

Although David officially hung up his football boots last year, he’ll always be closely associated with sport. For Sport Relief, he featured in a one-off special episode of ‘Only Fools And Horses’ with Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
